It's a nice little spot and definitely locking down those historic vibes. You get a feel of walking into the remnants of the past in this place. Old advertisements adorn the walls, old school setup which feels unchanged in generations. The food is a bit ordinary though. Ordered a couple of things, classic Argentine dishes were thought they would nail in an old school venue. But, unfortunately not. All a bit 'meh', to be honest. Yes, the menus are in Spanish but that adds to the vibe. Still, service is attentive and the buzz is a lovely feel. Worth a visit if only for nostalgia's sake 👍

Very rude waitress. Looked like she diddn't want to work today. We ordered 2 baquette and wanted to order two drinks. She allready left the table while I wasn't even finished ordering. The food was good! Low price as well.

Traditional cafe, with a huge menu in Spanish (only) I know what cheese and ham is in Spanish, so that was exactly what I got. The place is charming, dated from 1909. But for me, it's a "one-timer"

Great traditional vintage San Telmo restaurant, has a small but good selection of pasta, sandwiches and meat dishes, typical local dishes with good size portions and reasonable prices.

Love this place for its coffee and quintessential interior design--old world charm with a splash of Argentine commercial hipness.
